Chapter 454 Taunting
"How come you are so leisurely and eating so happily when you haven't found the tomb yet?" Ma Jing said angrily.
Chu Ruanruan sneered: "Miss, who told you that you can't eat until you finish your work?"
"For me, eating is the most important thing in the world. Finding the Qianyuan Pearl is important, but you have to eat enough. I didn't eat breakfast this morning and I'm almost fainting from hunger. How can I have the time to look for a tomb?"
As she spoke, Chu Runrun took another mouthful of rice and took a delicious bite of the roasted chicken leg that Ning Xuan handed to her.
Seeing Chu Ruanruan eating so happily, Ma Jing's stomach also started to growl.
She didn't bring much food when she came, firstly because she didn't like carrying a backpack, and secondly because she didn't expect to stay that long.
She had already eaten up the few compressed biscuits in her small leather bag.
She hadn't even had a sip of water in the morning, and she was already starving after being injured.
"Hey... Hey, do you have anything to eat?"
Ma Jing is used to being superior, and even when asking for help from others, she acts in a domineering manner.
Chu Ruanruan and the others all looked at her as if she was stupid.
It was the first time Ma Jing asked someone for food, and her face turned red. It was even more embarrassing because no one paid any attention to her.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question!" Ma Jing said angrily.
"Miss Ma, didn't your father teach you what politeness is? You are so rude when asking others for things. Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?" Chu Qi said sarcastically.
"I... I just want something to eat. Do you have to be so fussy about it?" Ma Jing said angrily.
"Heh~ Are we being petty? What do we have to do with you? We are not your parents, why should we spoil you?" Chu Qi sneered.
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Can't I just buy it?"
As she spoke, Ma Jing took out a stack of RMB from her bag and threw it on the ground:
"This money is enough to buy all your food, give it to me now!"
Chu Ruanruan was almost pissed off by this woman. Calling her the best was a compliment to her. It was a miracle that such a person could survive until now.
Chu Ruanruan looked at the money on the ground and sneered, then took out a chicken leg from her bag and said:
"We have plenty of food, but my sister just said that we are not your parents, so we will never spoil you. But if you kneel down and kowtow now, and call me aunt, we will still love you as our niece and give you a free chicken leg. How about it?"
"You...you are going too far! I am a lady from the Dragon and Tiger Sect. You humiliate me like this. I will go back and tell my dad!" Ma Jing said angrily.
"You're already an adult, and you tell your dad whenever something happens. Doesn't your dad have anything to do every day, so he just follows you around and cleans up your mess?" Chu Runrun said sarcastically.
"you……"
Ma Jing was interrupted by Chu Qi after she finished speaking:
"One more thing to add, you seem to be an illegitimate daughter, not a legitimate lady."
Chu Qi's words touched Ma Jing's sore spot. She hated it most when people said she was an illegitimate child.
"How dare you call me a bastard? I'm going to kill you!"
Ma Jing roared and rushed towards Chu Qi, but her leg was still injured, and she fell down as soon as she broke free from Chang Qi's support.
The funniest thing is that her boyfriend Feng Tianlong was standing next to her, but he took a step back the moment she fell, giving her some space to fall.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh sarcastically when they saw Ma Jing like this.
"Oh, I've heard for a long time that the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Sect has a very stupid illegitimate daughter. I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
"An illegitimate daughter is an illegitimate daughter, something not presentable!"
Hearing the mockery from the crowd, Ma Jing wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Feng Tianlong had long wanted to throw away Ma Jing, this burden, but now that she had humiliated him to such an extent, Feng Tianlong had long lost his patience.
"Changqi, bring her back to me." Feng Tianlong said coldly.
"But the Qianyuan Pearl has not been found yet." Changqi said unwillingly.
Feng Tianlong looked at Chang Qi with cold and vigilant eyes: "You think you can get the Qianyuan Pearl?"
Chang Qi lowered his head and pursed his lips, saying, "I...I didn't."
"Put your mind aside. Don't even think about it if it's not yours." Feng Tianlong said coldly.
Chang Qi gritted his teeth slightly, his throat felt a little dry, and his lowered eyes were full of unwillingness.
He also wanted to get the Qianyuan Pearl, not for anything else, just to have a chance to catch Ma Jing's eye.
After thinking for a long time, Chang Qi said in a trembling voice: "Brother, let me go with you. I... I don't want to steal the Qianyuan Pearl, I just want to gain some experience. It won't be a wasted trip. Besides, maybe I can help you later!"
Feng Tianlong glanced at the others and narrowed his eyes in thought.
These people have formed a temporary alliance with him. Once the Qianyuan Pearl is found, a war is bound to break out. After all, Changqi is from the same sect as him and will never help outsiders.
"Okay, you stay with me." Feng Tianlong said.
Chang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he looked at Ma Jing worriedly: "That lady..."
Feng Tianlong looked at Ma Jing with disgust: "She can go wherever she wants, it has nothing to do with me!"
Hearing this, Ma Jing angrily said again: "Feng Tianlong, you are my boyfriend, and you actually said it has nothing to do with me. Do you still have a conscience?"
"Either you wait here or go down with us, it's your choice!" Feng Tianlong had completely lost his patience.
If he hadn't been afraid that he would have to rely on Ma Jing for resources if he failed to obtain the Qianyuan Pearl, he would have broken up with this idiot long ago.
Feng Tianlong was so determined that Ma Jing didn't dare to say the word "break up".
She loves Feng Tianlong to the core, and now it can no longer be called love, but a habit.
Ma Jing looked at the dense woods around him and still felt a little scared.
It was unknown how long they would be inside. If she were alone outside and encountered monsters or evil spirits, she would not have the strength to resist. It would be better for her to stay with them.
Even if Feng Tianlong was angry, he would not ignore her life.
"I...I'm with you."
Feng Tianlong frowned slightly and took out a mahogany necklace from his pocket and threw it to Ma Jing:
"Hold it and get out of the way!"
The moment Ma Jing received the necklace, she burst into laughter and her previous anger completely dissipated.
"Let me tell you, Tianlong still loves me."
Chang Qi looked at Ma Jing's smile with bitter eyes. What a fool! Feng Tianlong was just afraid that if she died, he wouldn't be able to explain to the sect leader.
"Everyone, split up and look for the tomb to see if you can find it." Feng Tianlong said.
Everyone immediately dispersed and searched everywhere.
Chu Runrun finally felt full after eating a box of self-heating rice and half a chicken.
Just as I was about to clean up the remaining rice, I saw Ma Jing looking at the remaining rice in their box and swallowing her saliva.
Ma Jing felt that Chu Runrun was looking at her, but she immediately looked away and pretended not to care.
Seeing that Ma Jing was so hungry that her face turned yellow, Chang Qi could only give her half of his remaining rations:
"Miss, please eat something!"
